Listen to Everett The Grey and you hear an artist who paints with many colors in many diverse styles. On his 2020 release "Pillowcases" his emotionally torn vox, as sung bathed in a beautiful melancholia and as rapped, potent and burnt, carries a particularly heavy gravitas. Musically the song is bent to do his will, turning from a quiet still, dark house into one burning down, from an almost gothic ballad to a folk rocker with an ending as classic as a Led Zep song. These musical shapes stun not only because of the emotional narrative and Everett The Grey's insanely cool engaging vocal aesthetic but the shapes that surprise us along the way.
"Pillowcases" is his last release since the very evocative "April" wherein ETG throws down his poetry at a feverish clip amid rabid beats and synth strikes that feel like an amalgam of neosoul and vaporwave sounds. When the song puts on the brakes and stirs into a trip hop serenade it is fucking lush. Amazing.
